Y/N's POV~

I skated down the streets of Derry. I was trying to clear my mind. I need a break. I was on my way to go to Victor's since I was gonna hang with him and Becky, third wheel. But at the same time, I just wanted to escape Henry for a bit. He was harsh lately, he even almost hit me.

~Flashback: three days ago~

Y/n shut the front door, locking it and removing her shoes after. She had just gotten back from the store and went to put the stuff away.

"Y/N! GET YOUR ASS IN HERE!"

Henry's voice boomed from upstairs. She ran up the stairs and looked at him, he was in the hallway, looking rather moody.

"What?"

She said, her voice laced with annoyance

"Don't give me that shit"

His words were laced with venom.

"What the hell did I do Henry? I just got home"

She said back to him, crossing her arms as she did. Henry reached into his pocket, y/n uncrossed her arms and looked him in the eyes. Her eyes widened when she saw him grab something from inside his pocket. 'Don't pull your blade on me, you said you would never draw blood' she thought as panic rushed through her. His blade came out, she could see the metal reflect off the light a bit.

"Henry, you said you'd never draw blood!"

She screamed as she backed away from him, into a wall. He approached her, but then stopped and threw the blade, she jumped as it hit the wall, sticking out. She went to walk up the stairs when he grabbed her wrist,

"Watch yourself next time"

He looked as if he was going to hit her, but then released her.

~End of flashback~

I arrived at Becky's, I knocked on the door and a second later, it opened with Becky standing there, a smile on her face.

"Hey! Come on in, cute outfit" (outfit pictured above)

"Thank you"

I walked inside and sat on the couch as Becky closed the door.

"So what are we doing today?"

I asked as she sat next to me

"Victor wants it to be a surprise, he won't even tell me, he's almost ready to go though"

I nodded and we watched some TV as we waited for Victor to get ready.  

Ben's POV~

Winter break ends in about five weeks. I'm leaving for a week or week and a half. I was sitting in my room, packing up my things. Me and my mom are going to a bunch of different cities and spots here not to far from here.

"Ben! Your friends are here!"

My dad yelled from downstairs. I rushed down the stairs, a wide grin spread on my face. I knew Y/n was out, but she told me she would come later tonight since I'm leaving tomorrow.

"How long are you gonna be gone?"

"Do you have everything packed?"

"A-are y-y-you gonna take pic-pictures?"

Questions were shouted left and right. I explained everything and smiled at how they all listened and payed attention. They were...interested. All I've ever wanted was for people to see me as something different then my weight, these people, are something I'll never forget. True friendship.

They ended up leaving after a while, but Beverly stayed. We went up to my room, she sat down on my bed and crossed her legs.

"Still have your poster up"

I closed my door to show it was, in fact, still there. She gave me a cheeky grin before patting the side of the bed next to her. I sat next to her, but quickly got up and put on some NKOTB. She smiled at me and layed down, as I layed next to her. We stayed in my room, talking, and listening to NKOTB for a few hours.

(Let me just say, if I had someone I could do that with- goals🥺🥺) ~Side note from the Author

Becky's POV~

Victor came downstairs and smiled at us both. 

"Let's go ladies, I have an eventful day planned!" 

We followed him outside and started walking down the sidewalk. There wasn't much conversation but I knew it was bugging Y/n, she had told me what had been happening with Henry. I wonder if she'll tell Victor... I decided to not bring it up unless she spoke first. We walked for a bit before arriving at our small town mall. Victor nodded towards the mall and walked inside. Me and Y/n followed quietly. 

"What store first?" I asked as I looked around 

"How bout ice cream first? I can't shop on an empty stomach" Y/n said and laughed a bit

We walked to the ice cream stand and got three cones. I got strawberry, Victor got mint chocolate chip, and y/n got y/f/f. We sat down at one of the many tables and ate, Victor telling us more about what he had planned without giving too much away. 

"How's Henry doing y/n/n? I called him earlier and he was acting weird"

I looked at her, and she looked at me. I nodded at her before looking back up.

"Um...Vic, I gotta tell you something about Henry, but not here, too many people around"

He nodded at her and stood up. She stood up and they walked away. I sat there, unsure of what to do.

Victor's POV~

Y/n whispered what happened, how he'd been acting, what he was saying, and what he did. I wrapped my arms around her and rubbed her back.

"It's gonna be okay, if you need, you can stay at my place, you're always welcome"

She nodded and pulled away from me. We walked back to the table where Becky was. I smiled at her and sat down. All I could think was, I got my two favorite girls with me, but, I'm gonna go confront Henry soon.

~8:57 PM: The Bowers Home~

Me, Belch, and Patrick walked inside and yelled for Henry. He yelled he was upstairs so that's where we went. Y/n went to go see Ben, so we dropped her then came here.

"What the fuck is wrong with you"

Belch said as we entered Henry's room. He looked at us confused.

"Why are you acting so rude towards your little sister?! You almost hit here Henry!"

I burst, Patrick stood there, his arms crossed, as if he was trying to figure out something.

"Oh shit-"

Patrick whispered, Henry looked at him.

"I know why...oh shit oh shit oh shit"

Patrick said a bit louder and stepped back, leaning against the wall and pulled out a cigarette, immediately lighting it.

"Well, do we get an answer?"

Belch said and looked at me, then Henry.

"You really wanna know...?"

"JUST FUCKING TELL US HENRY!"

I shouted and stared at him, a hard expression on my face.

"I HAVE TO FIGURE OUT HOW I'M GONNA FUCKING TELL HER WE'RE MOVING ASSHOLE"

I stared at him, a blank expression on my face. Oh shit-
